The St. Ives-based singer-songwriter Bailey Tomkinson has been blazing her trail through the evolving world of country-laced pop, and with new single, "Astronaut," she's made her most decisive move yet, one giant leap, right into orbit. Bailey Tomkinson isn't just releasing another song with "Astronaut"; she's planting a flag in the world of pop-rock. She is showing that craft, depth, and a sense of the cinematic also have a place in the mainstream.
"Astronaut" envelops you in a dreamy world that melds cinematic pop-rock and front-porch storytelling. It's a floating ballad that never drifts, be it only to Bailey's feel for emotional detail. Her voice, at once commanding and ethereal, effortlessly rides over the production, drawing you into a story that feels both personal and universal.
What makes "Astronaut" stand out, however, is its chorus, which soars and swells. And then, in that moment, Bailey's singing serves as the gravitational force that keeps everything in orbit. There's a maturity here that's difficult to fake, raw but refined, tender but forceful. It's the sound of an artist who knows exactly who she is and isn't afraid to pursue the heights her music demands.
